The emerald ne he had given her for her birthday two years ago, along with the various designer handbags and watches, had all been sold.
Looking at the pictures the store manager pulled out, he was rare to be so flustered and at a loss.
How could she have sold all <i>the </i><i>gifts </i><i>I </i>had given <i>her</i><i>? </i>
Did <i>she </i>really want to cut ties with me<i>? </i>
“Did she sell a pair of silver bracelets?”
John grabbed the store manager’s wrist and eagerly inquired, “Those silver bracelets were made by my own hands. They have the words “To stay together, till death and end‘ engraved on them, as well as two little figures holding hands. Also, on the inside of the bracelets, there are the initials of her name. Where are those bracelets?”
“Mr. John, please calm down first.”
At this moment, John seemed like a cornered beast driven to desperation.
He was enveloped by an indescribable sense of despair. However, being ustomed to a high position, his presence was too intimidating, and he exuded a fierce and murderous aura, which made the store manager’s eyelids twitch violently.
She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, “I haven’t seen those bracelets. Ms. Ginger probably kept them.”
John, like a dying beast clutching at the only straw of hope, gradually regained his vitality.
She hadn’t sold those <i>silver </i><i>bracelets</i>…
I had known it <i>all </i><i>along</i><i>. </i><i>She </i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>really </i><i>leave </i><i>me</i>.
Those silver <i>bracelets </i><i>could </i><i>be </i><i>considered </i><i>our </i><i>engagement </i><i>token</i>.
<i>Three </i><i>years </i>ago, <i>on </i><i>her </i><i>birthday</i>, <i>I </i><i>was down </i><i>and </i><i>out and </i><i>couldn’t </i><i>afford </i><i>expensive </i><i>jewelry</i>.
<i>Without </i><i>telling </i><i>her</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>sat </i><i>in </i><i>a </i><i>wheelchair </i><i>and </i><i>secretly </i><i>collected </i><i>scrap </i><i>for </i><i>a </i><i>whole </i><i>month</i>. <i>Finally</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>managed </i><i>to </i><i>scrape </i><i>together </i>150 <i>dors</i>, <i>bought </i><i>the </i><i>materials</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>made </i><i>a </i><i>pair </i><i>of </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets </i><i>for </i><i>her </i>with <i>my </i><i>own </i><i>hands</i>.
<i>That </i><i>night</i>, <i>after </i>I <i>gave </i><i>her </i><i>the </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>knew </i><i>I </i><i>had </i><i>collected </i><i>scrap </i><i>for </i><i>a </i><i>month </i><i>and </i><i>was </i><i>so </i><i>heartbroken </i><i>that </i>
she cried<i>. </i>
<i>She </i><i>scolded </i><i>me</i><i>, </i><i>saying </i><i>that </i><i>if </i><i>I </i><i>ever </i><i>collected </i><i>scrap </i><i>behind </i><i>her </i><i>back </i><i>again</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>would </i><i>never </i><i>talk </i>to <i>me </i><i>again</i>.
<i>But </i><i>after </i><i>scolding </i><i>me</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>still </i><i>threw </i><i>herself </i><i>into </i><i>my </i><i>arms</i>.
She <i>said </i><i>she </i><i>loved </i>those <i>silver </i><i>bracelets </i><i>so </i>much<i>. </i>
<i>She </i><i>loved </i><i>them </i>so much <i>that </i>she <i>would </i>never take them <i>off</i><i>. </i>

<i>She </i>loved them so much that she wanted <i>to </i>wear <i>them </i><i>into </i><i>her </i><i>grave</i>.
<i>Later</i><i>, </i>when I became extremely <i>wealthy</i>, <i>I </i><i>gave </i><i>her </i><i>expensive </i>watches, <i>gold </i>bracelets, <i>and </i><i>diamond </i><i>bracelets</i><i>, </i><i>but </i>still wore those 150 dor <i>silver </i>bracelets <i>on </i><i>her </i>wrist.
She sold the valuable <i>jewelry </i><i>and </i><i>bags </i><i>I </i><i>had </i><i>given </i><i>her</i><i>, </i><i>just </i><i>to </i><i>make </i><i>me </i><i>angry</i>.
She wanted me to bow down, to coax her.
Those silver bracelets, the photo <i>frame </i><i>on </i><i>the </i>bedside table, <i>and </i><i>the </i><i>iron </i><i>box </i><i>under </i><i>the </i><i>phoenix </i><i>tree </i><i>were </i><i>our </i>most precious possessions.
She will never throw <i>those </i>things away.
After confirming that he would never lose her, his anxious heart slowly settled back into ce.
However, thinking about how many gifts she had sold, he still felt a bit ufortable and was eager to her.
After instructing the store manager to quickly buy back the sold items, he strode quickly out of the second–hand store…
When Lily came back from the recording studio, it was alreadyte at night.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she felt a pain in her lower back and was forcefully pinned against the wall by John.
He looked at her, his dark eyes bloodshot, like a fierce beast on the edge of a cliff facing off against someone, restrained yet furious.
He stared at her unblinkingly, as if trying to see through her soul.

Lily didn’t know what he was going crazy about again.
But she didn’t want to waste time with him and mustered all her strength to push him hard, “John, can you stop acting up all the time? When will you finally be a decent ex–boyfriend and stop haunting me like a ghost? It’s really bad luck to always be disturbed and entangled by you!”
“Lily, why did you sell the gifts I gave you? You never used to do that.”
Ignoring her words, John hoarsely demanded an answer, “Why? Speak!”
At this moment, Lily also noticed the pink diamond ne and ruby earrings that John was clutching tightly in his hand.
She understood and sarcastically curled her lips.
So, he had found out that she had sold the gifts he had given her!
However, although these gifts were from him, she didn’t feel guilty about selling them.
She raised her face, met his gaze coldly and calmly, “That’s right, I sold all the gifts you gave me. John, we’ve broken up. I don’t have a particr fondness for keeping gifts from an ex–boyfriend M people have to look forward. You’ve already moved on. I will too. If my new

that I’m still keeping things from my ex, he’ll be upset. I don’t want him to be jealous or sad.”
New boyfriend or husband…
John’s brows almost formed a sharp sword.
He found the term particrly grating.
He also couldn’t ept the idea of someone else being with Lily.

Not wanting to keep arguing with her, he suppressed his displeasure and softened his tone, saying, “Can we stop fighting? I’m really tired of your constant quarrels.”
